Impact of Diabetic Foot on Selected Psychological or Social Characteristics

With great interest, we read the recent paper [1] “Does the diabetic foot have a significant impact on selected psychological or social characteristics of patients with diabetes mellitus?”. The authors aimed to compare selected psychological and social characteristics between diabetic patients with and without the diabetic foot (DF). They have concluded that patients with DF had a predominantly worse standard of living and patients with DF appeared to have good stress tolerability and mental health and did not reveal severe forms of depression or any associated consequences.
